At the rustle of a leaf as they worked they trembled and fell flat or fled hi panic, and -when a squirrel moved in the bashes or an ox switched ais tail they trembled and screamed in fright Many bunts were organized, but most of them she eluded. The carcasses of fat cattle and choice sheep were tilled with poison and left for her, but she refused them. Englishmen and Englishwomen sat night ifter nl?ht on platforms in trees wait Lng for a shot at her. But her roll of rictims grew until In November she encountered a great hunter. This man, Roger OUara, swore to kill her or die in the effort At. great expense he bought the body of a native, stood it upright against a little tree deep In the jungle and ellznhed a tree to wait for ber appearance. Just after sunset the famous man eater leaped Into the clearing, tearing the body almost in two at the first stroke of her great paw, and at the same instant the Englishman fired. The bullet struck bar, she rolled over and then, with a wild roar of rage, leaped against the tree in which O'Hara sat, striving to catch him. The shock of the impact almost threw him from the tree, but be clung to It for life. Before he could recover and shoot again the tigress bounded away Into the depths of the jungle to nurse her wound. She was not beard of for two weeks. Then she killed a head shikari during a hunt, falling upon him and dragging him away in the sight of twenty men and devouring half his body in a short time. That same night she killed a little boy three miles away. In January Soondargowry made a mistake. She killed an Englishman. The victim was Arthur Donathan, a young English sportsman, who determined to use human bait for the man a*to* TVknnthfln nt flwt attemDted to purchase from a man dying of consumption his body or his services. The man refused, preferring to die In his bed, and Donathan was forced to purchase the body of a pauper who had died. This he arranged in a spot to which the tigress had dragged one of her victims, placing It in a seated position in a small clearing. He then erected a tight, frail platform in a thick chimp of bushes, being determined to get a perfect shot as near on the level as possible. At 2 o'clock in the morning, with a bright moon, Donathan was crouching on the platform when a native in a treetop screamed wildly. Donathan, angered, turned. The tigress was behind him, almost under him, creeping forward, her tail lashing the ground, her eyes on him and not on the bait Donathan had no time to use his gun. As he turned Soondargowry sprang, and the Englishman, desperate, gr&ped at her with bare hands. Together they crashed through the ^rati platform to the ground. The natives, dropping from AS EH ItTBRD, 800HDASG0WB7 8PBASG. the trees, van to, and the tigress, dropping Dorothea's body, fled to her tads. The death of Dooathen aroused the RngThtfi, seen at Calcutta, and plans for the execution of the most famous man eater of modern India were completed. the boot was ordered to continue mrtH she is slain. Boondargowrys fbrty-etght victims swelled the total of India's losses of life for the year. During 1004, according to the British government reports, 2,749 human beings were killed by wild animals In India, l&X of them by tigers. Hats and Plmjme. Sterner states that examinations of the habits of the rat so far as they are known, do not bear out the theory that he Is the source of the disease. He does suffer from plague, and were he the source the epidemic should be most acute when the rat Is in most Intimate contact with the human population. There ts nothing to show that destrao tion of rats decreases plague Incidence. Rats avoid lime, as It burns their feet, so that the free use of unslaked lime will keep them away. It is when rats and men are out In the fields that they are liable to attack by some agent common to both as causing plague, and this oause decreases to a minimum when rats and men are most closely associated during the rains.?British Medical Journal. % | Farmers i m are beginning to i |! are free and inde m By concerted aci m taught the worl I Cotton is Woi jjj /So Zon^r as 5W;A von fep is no reason why th p his son and davghta such luxuries 05 oth \m joyed for years.
